Hair Salon- Brooks & Brooks 

This week I paid a visit to the award winning Brooks & Brooks salon in Holborn. The salon provides the warmth and intimacy of your hometown salon with a super-charged dose of styling know-how and impressive on trend credentials. The Salon was down a gorgeous avenue near Holborn, the street had a magical character about it, it reminded me of something out of Harry Potter. The whole process from start to finish was executed with the highest level of professionalism and I was pleasantly surprised. 

The salon had a cool retro interior, the walls were covered in vintage frames and the room had a wonderful scent to it which I noticed came from their own branded candles! I was looked after by a woman called Kayleigh, who had the most wonderful energy about her. Kayleigh was a fountain of knowledge and I learned so many new tips and tricks from her, having had some bad experiences in the past with my hair I was extremely lucky to fall into the hands of Kayleigh who advised me on the best products to help me improve the condition of my hair. I left the salon with a real sense of achievement, I walked away with a handful of knowledge, a few new additions to my hair care regime and a more positive energy, I was extremely happy with the service received and will definitely be returning to the salon!

Don’t forget, you can find me in all these places too!

St Tropez Gradual Tan Body Wash- does it really work?

I was reading the latest beauty edition of 'Style Magazine' and came across an advertisement for this St Tropez 'body wash' and I have to say I was instantly infatuated with the idea of have a body wash that can gradually tan you over time?! What girl doesn't love a bit of a tan? Especially during the Summer months. St Tropez has been my bread and butter for years now, I have veered off the beaten path to other brands for that desired glow but none have ever come close to St Tropez. The gradual tan they do is not only moisturising but nourishing at the same time and of course after a weeks use, you really start to see the results. So off I went to boots and of course there was a deal on 'buy one get one half price' so I bought the new body wash and my gradual tan, because of course you'd assume they go hand in hand right? correct. The two products really do marry each other, and although the wash takes a while before you see results it really enhances the gradual moisturiser. So how do you use it? Its simple, exfoliate at the start of the week once, then lather yourself in the product once wet, wait 3 minutes and rinse. Now, you might be wondering what can you do in 3 minutes, I usually put a hair or face mask so that I am doing something productive while I wait for the tan to activate. The bottle advises you to 'pat yourself dry' to save you wiping away any product which will start to be gradually activating now, slap on your gradual tan moisturiser and your good to go. You should start to see results in a week, so my answer to your question is- yes it does really work!
